Anyone Can Draw: Basic Drawing with COMPAS Teaching Artist Andrew Young
October 9, 2022 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Purchase Tickets
Spend the afternoon with Lakewood in this fun and creative drawing class for all levels. This workshop will teach participants the basics of drawing, exploring different ways of mark-making, various tools (pencil, pen, ink, marker), and some light art history showing different styles. The basics of shading, perspective, proportion, and edges will be covered, as well as different types of drawing subjects such as landscape, still-life, and figure, as well as drawing from the imagination.
All materials will be provided, but please bring a photo or object of significance to you or someone you’ve lost. If you choose a photograph, it does not have to be of a person: it can be a place, object, or something else. But if you prefer a photo of a person that is okay as well!
No experience necessary.
